Call a number by connecting to 3cx via GSM

[Albert464]

Hello,

Is it possible to call a number by connecting to the switchboard via GSM?
Example:

Mobile calls 3CX, enter the number to call and 3CX calls the desired number with the Trunk.

In this way I hide my cell phone number.

You should be able to call out using voicemail.

See this thread:

Sounds like you want to spoof the caller-id. If so this has been covered before several times:

FYI you can call direct to GSM if you really want via a supported 3CX GSM gateway from beroNet:

Hello @Albert464

If i understand correctly you want to call into the system with your GSM number and use the system to forward the call and present the systems caller ID. If that is the case then you can do this but you will need to answer the call and then forward it manually to an external destination. Your trunk should also be configured to present the present the correct caller ID.

Exactly, I would like to call my 3cx via a GSM line, that a voice asks me what number to call and that the switchboard will call me by connecting to the recipient so that the number of my GSM line is masked

Currently the only way this can be done automatically is through the voicemail service of the extension. You will need to create an inbound rule to point you either directly to voicemail or to an IVR and use direct dial to reach the voicemail extension. You can then navigate the menus to dial out. Not as straight forward as you would want it to be but possible.

I tried to do as you say, but when I press the 3 button inside the voicemail, a voice tells me "Call prohibited by the administrator"

Sorry about that, i forgot to mention that you need to enable this option by navigating to Settings / PBX and enable the option "Enable Outgoing calls in Voicemail Menu"

Thank you @YiannisH_3CX
I'm trying but I get this error in the logs and the call does not start, what can it be?

Are you dialling the number in the same format, as would be dialled from the extension? This includes any required prefixes. It may be that your outbound rules, are not selective enough, to prevent incorrectly formatted numbers to be passed on to the provider. It would seem to be declined by your provider.

If the outbound number is correct (compare a failed call with one from the extension for the same number), then it might be an outbound caller ID issue.

It does look like the provider is declining the call. As @leejor mentioned make sure that the format of the number dialled is correct. If the issue persists perhaps your provider can tell you why the call is declined so you can make the appropriate adjustments.
